How To Update Samsung Galaxy FIT S 5670 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 Firmware

For all those who are owning the handset called Samsung GALAXY Fit, it really can’t better than this as till now even Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 which was the flagship model for the year 2010 didn’t get the proper Gingerbread 2.3.3 version all across the World but here comes the bummer as the Samsung GALAXY Fit which costs less than half as that of the Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 has an update which is dubbed as the latest Gingerbread 2.3.4 for Galaxy Fit. So, let’s check out on what are the things which are the new features or the things which have been added in this version of Gingerbread 2.3.4 for Samsung Galaxy Fit.

Please note that this update is the beta update and is not the official version, but it’s an official leak from the Samsung which is currently under testing and most of the bugs are fixed and also many functions have been fixed in this version of Gingerbread 2.3.4. So, before we proceed on what are the things which are new in this version and also how you can update your Galaxy Fit with the latest 2.3.4 you will also have to go through the list of pre requisites so as to facilitate the smoother firmware update to 2.3.4 Gingerbread release. This update of Gingerbread 2.3.4 is dubbed as XEKPG. Please note that by updating with this firmware will not void your phone’s warranty in any manner as this is not the rooting process and updating with this firmware won’t mean that you have rooted your phone.

Note : You will have to reconfigure the APN settings after updating the firmware to access the data services and the Internet services as all the Internet APN settings will be reset. You will have to contact your Service provider to get more info on the APN Settings. Not to forget also configure the MMS Settings. Also, we hold no responsibility if any thing goes wrong which is an unlikely event if anything goes wrong.

I saw all the coments posted by everyone.
now i have a big question.

i also want to upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3.
pls help or tell other android phone around 9-10k

i have tried to install android 2.3.4 which u have provided but with yellow screen in downloading mode and so mobile got screwed up and starts showing a screen having connect to pc sign doesnt starts up but anyhow my phone was on warranty period so they again installed 2.2 now should i try again and how to get green screen ???? what maybe possible reason for that problem???????

i cannot find the instructions written above .
i think someone has deleted the file through which we can upgrade galaxy fit.
plzz someone plzz copy the instructions and the file link in the reply section.

And my S5670 is Death!
I have one problem. The phone do not want to enter in download mode or recovery, and the screen is always black and don’t vibrating.
I was flashing it and somewhere it block and after that it do not start.

I connected to PC and when i press:
– Home + Power don’t enter in recovery mode and the PC don’t see it.
– Volume Down + Home + Power don’t enter in download mode and PC don’t see it
– Volume Up + Home + Power the Odin and PC was saw it and installed the driver for USB, modem and serial. But when i trying to install the ROM it block at “setting connection”

If you are any suggestion or another software or u want to try something i am in the mood to try all. I buy the phone for testing

Afte the installation, I got PASS in the odin editor… but after that my mobile is not starting… not even in the downloading mode. Even If i want to run the process again, the device should be started in download mode right… that is not happening…

I updated my fit using the ROM provided by you but im unable to connect the phone to PC via USB. Can you please help in fixing it and if its a bug can you tell me how to move back to preinstalled Froyo. Please help.

While the process of installation was going on it was taking an awfully long time so I shut down odin and restarted PC and wanted to restart handset. But the handset just refuses to start. I connected it to a charger suspecting low battery but no help… Is my phone bricked… I had high hopes reading all the +ve comments… Please let me know if you can assist.

My phone had gone DEAD. Had to get the motherboard changed. Luckily as under warranty it din cost me anything as they could not figure out what was wrong with the phone. Guys be careful. This is not for dummies and people with a limited patience level. And I got no reply from the authors here which was sad.

Should i ignore this upgrade message or can i proceed with this upgrade. Will Samsung try to check my device and lock if they find that i am using an unreleased version? I am tempted to upgrade but scared that it may lock the phone or it may downgrade to old version and need advice.

Well i updated my firmware on galaxy fit 1month ago.. Gingerbread is awesome..although its in beta. But still having some minor issues like..usb tethering not supported(use easy tether app).usb sd card still not detected on pc…no unicode fonts..no superuser found in/system/bin/su..for 3g u have to manually activate thru settings(secret codes). No found any difference in battery utilizatio between froyo n gingerbread.. I shud check the cache ..overall waiting for another updated firmware

Sir, i have a Samsung galaxy fit..which i upgraded to gingerbread version 2.3.4. But i want to downgrade to my previous version froyo 2.2.1. Sir pls help it out for me. At present it s showing –
Baseband version -s 5670XxkPI
Kernel version -2.6.35.7-perf-cl260612se.infra@sep-58#1
Build number-gingerbread.xxkpi
thanks in advance.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY GALAXY FIT THAT WHT EVER I M DOWNLOADING ALL R SAVING IN PHONE MEMEORY.I HAVE TRIED MUCH IN SETTINGS ,BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT SHIFTED TO SD CARD.
IF SHIFTED IT SHOWING BOTH IN PHONE MEMEORY AND SD CARD.

thanxxx a lot man…..had been searchin 4 dis 4 sooo long……but i do hv a doubt…
when u say the warranty doesnt go void with this update… how is that possible? samsung hasnt officially launched it…and any prbs frm here on, they can blame it on the software update we hv done…

At Samsung Service Centre, they clearly denied any official upgrades (just yesterday – 9th July’11)… Kies too states no upgrades available. Who cares.. I followed the above instructions and now my phone is on 2.3.4 😀

This update is awesome and simply superb. The process guide was narrated very well so that there is hassle free upgrade. Thanks for that.

Just few items that I noticed on this update.

1.Though I was able to Install “Mozilla FireFox”, Whenever I launch it has to “Force Closed”. Not sure something on the upgrade can be done.
2. I would like to have a detailed way for backup and restore options before and after the update. I spent a lot of time in installing the apps again. Though I was able to backup contacts and msgs.
3. Adobe Flash player seems to be not working.

But as whole nice and great effort. Wishing the team all the very best.

I purchased Galaxy Fit last week. While backing up the data on PC using Kies I encountered following problem. It stated importing contacts from the mobile but would not go beyond 20% and get stuck there. After a brief period it would say “Device is not responding”. What could be the problem? Is the USB interface not working properly?
My question has bearing on updating the OS to Gingerbread 2.3.4 system. I am little edgy about trying this but I am very much interested in doing so. However, I am afraid that if the interface stops in the middle then I will not be able to even revert to the older version. Your advice will be appreciated.

I install the Gingerbread 2.3.4 Firmware look great but…… now I have problems with the backlight. The cell still working but without light and them comeback again. Mi cell is from Claro provider in Puerto Rico, please help me with this situation. Can put back the froyo 2.2 and where I can find it. And yes is a Galaxy Fit S5670L

hi my galaxy fit is android file damage

After upgrade , performance has increased.But I recorded a video and observed that the quality has decreased. Could you please let me know if you have observed the same OR is there any thing I need to do here.

When in idle mode… it seems to have bugs in wifi. It displays wifi disconnected even if I restart wifi connection it connects for about 3 seconds and then disconnects itself. Anyone here experiencing this problem?

Hi all, thanks a lot for this room!!
I´ve flashed my Fit and now i´m experiencing some wifi problems. After I disable de WIFI and try to enable again the wifi just got error, so I need to reboot the phone to back on work.
Anyone faced this problem or have any solution??
Thank´s

many people who are saying their process is getting stuck , i am not sure but maybe this is because you are using windows 7 , there is a problem when you are updating through windows 7 , use windows xp ,it would work , use some virtualization software if you do not want to format your system

hey @Snehith we are working on coming up with an all new version of Firmware, we have taken down your request and within the next 48 hours your request will be addressed! Stay tuned to http://www.androidadvices.com

Hey thanks my update surprisingly took only 2 minutes.
One little problem,i can’t get into recovery mode to clear cache.only once i was able to get into recovery mode by volume up+home +power. ITS A VERY TRICKY COMBINATION,CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP HOW LONG WE HAVE TO PRESS THESE KEYS AND THAN RELEASE.

I got the same error message, then realized Kies was open. Make sure Kies app is closed and all the tasks related to Kies in Task Manager is force closed. Only then it works..
It worked like a cake for me 😀

Did as explained here. In the Odin Multi Downloader window, the process gets stuck at ” mibib download”. Have waited 10-15 minutes to see some progress but nothing. Repeated twice and the same happened.

Can anybody explain what’s that supposed to mean or did anyone encounter the same problem?

Hey I am having galaxy fit, my age is 15yr. I’m from India.. I have some queries regarding the update-
1- will I void my warranty in any manner after update?
2-I am facing an auto-shutdown problem in my phone (it gives 3 vibrations& switches off most of the time),and many a times wifi and bluetooth don’t work! IS THIS PROBLEM SOLVED IN THIS UPDATE?
3- will I loose my pre-installed apps like swype,quick office,etc…(I wish they are gone cauz I can’t update swype)..?
4-will my phone support flash after the update?
5-do I have to root my phone to get this update?
6-are there any gprs and usb issues? cauz many in the above comments have stated!

1. no warranty will not be void,
2. just re flash the firmware and clear the cache!,
3. no all pre installed apps will stay in your phone!
4.it will not support as it all depends on regions as of now!\
5. no, rooting is not necessary to update!
6. no such issues are being reported as of now!

I have successfully updated my galaxy fit 2.2 into 2.3.4. Now i m able to install many new applications (through 1MOBILE MARKET) and adobe flash player. But the flash player isn’t working yet. Plz tell how should fix this.
And thax for the update. May u provide many helpful features in future.

First of all ,Thanx to the author of this tutorial for such a simplified explanation about the usage of ODIN.

And I am now officially on Gingerbread v 2.3.4 and there is a newer version than the one mentioned in the tutorial(it ends with KPI rather than KPG) .

About the new version:

*Yes .The mobile APN settings are gone.but you can contact your service provider and make them send it to you i suppose(I use wi fi almost 90% of the time though)

*My galaxy fit is faster than when it was on froyo.The increase in speed isnt very high but it is noticeable.The response times are indeed quicker.

*Wi fi seems to have become faster as well.

*MAJOR UPDATE: The video camera resolution has been increased from QVGA @ 15 fps(320*480) to a quadruple times better resolution(That’s 4 TIMES better) of 640*480 VGA recording.
But as far as i can see still shot camera imaging hasn’t been improved.

*Minimal changes in the UI most noticeable of which are in the Notifications drop down menu & the lock screen.

Problems faced:

* The mobile APN does seem to be an unnecessary hassle but it does have a solution.
*Default language looks Russian.Easily fixed-> Go to locale and text in settings and choose ENGLISH(US)

If you have problems with USB connection repeat the process or make sure you clear cache in recovery mode(Hold power+home button in the power OFF state to go into recovery mode)

Also,try using the memory card and then see if the memory stick is detected via USB.

how do you up update using the newer version , can you write a tutorial for that cuz the newer version has some other files in the folder thanks in advance and what do you mean by the apn settings ? i activated a one month gprs plan from airtel , will it remain or do i need to make some settings after flashing
